Today in IT History

On March 6, 1992, the Michelangelo virus first infected computers. It was named after the artist Michelangelo, who was born on March 6, the day the virus activated. The virus infected DOS systems, overwriting the first 100 sectors of the hard disk with nulls.

The virus made news again in 1993 when it once again was activated on March 6. It was one of the first viruses to get widespread media attention, with subsequent widespread public panic.

The Funnies

It's National Oreo Day, a day it would be a travesty not to celebrate. These cookies-''n'-cream delights have become an American institution, holding a cherished place in many a childhood. There are, of course, variants. Oreo now offers countless different flavors, and other vendors have come out with their own competitors (though the only one worth mentioning is Trader Joe's offering).

Don't fret, we aren't going to make homemade Oreos today. (I have no idea how one would even begin that process.) What we are eating — or rather drinking — is an Oreo milkshake. I guess I'll provide a recipe, though this is really the kind of recipe all of you are capable of determining on your own accord. Three ingredients later, you're in a world of bliss.

I had the new thin Oreo's and they are really good. The thin mint ones taste almost as good as the Girl Scout Thin Mint cookies!

Get a cup. Place 4-5 oreos in cup. Pour milk up to the level of oreos into the cup. Let it sit for a minute or two so the oreos get soggy, drink some of the excess milk (but not all of the milk) ... crush oreos with spoon. Enjoy.
